    Where to Watch

In this uplifting drama, three generations of Canadian aboriginal women find strength in family while confronting addiction and dysfunction in rural Ontario.

Going home was never an option for single mother Lena Mahikan (Cara Gee). But when her 13-year-old, Peeka (Shay Eyre) overdoses in the streets of Toronto, she is forced to return home to her estranged mother and face a life-long legacy of shame and resentment. Empire of Dirt is a story about second chances and summoning the power of family to soothe the pain of cyclical damage.
